The forest floor litter is a complex living system where individual forms are connected by unseen processes. Mosses, berries, fungi, roots, and mycelium intertwine, sprout through one another, and form a single organic structure. Some elements create the surface, while others bind it from within, forming a continuous network of interactions.
Concept
If the subject is «mossy, ” it means it has grown moss. The surface of every tapestry is also composed of interweavings of natural forms: mosses, berries, fungi, and fine threads of mycelium that bind them into a single, living system. The intertwining of the threads itself becomes an extension of these organic connections, transforming the textile into something akin to a forest floor.
The inspiration for this series came from photographs taken in the coniferous forests north of St. Petersburg, where mossy surfaces, wild berries, and mushrooms create intricate natural patterns. Each tapestry is a fragment of this environment—a small piece of a forest pattern translated onto textiles.
